Chapter 228: The End of the First Battle and Wandering
From the first game to the third game, Seido won four points in a row without conceding a point, after which Yagami was switched to the right field by Kataoka and then pitched by Yuden Sakai.
In the eighth inning, Seido scored four points in the first half of the eighth inning to extend the difference to 11 points, and Tsuwasaki only broke Sakai's pitch in the second half of the eighth inning to score the first point of the game.
In the first half of the ninth inning, the Seido hitter scored two more points from Tsurazaki Koto's new pitcher Wada in the eighth inning, and in the second half of the ninth inning, Yagami returned to the pitcher's mound from the right fielder to pitch, so that the score of the two sides was finally fixed at 13:1.
When the two sides lined up to salute, most of the players of Tsurazaki Ko had red eyes and cried in a low voice, which made the Seido players a little unbearable about this. It's a pity that Koshien is such a place, and the Seido people can't do much more than pat each other's shoulders when shaking hands.
After returning to their rest area, the Seido people began to organize the belongings they had brought with them, the next match was Osaka Kiryu vs. Yokohama, their match would start around 16:20 p.m., if you didn't want to miss the opportunity to watch them play, you had to leave here as soon as possible and return to the hotel where you lived.
After packing up the belongings they had brought with them, the Seido crowd lined up and nodded to the reporters who came to interview, and then followed the back of Superintendent Kataoka into the exit passage.
Before leaving the court, Superintendent Kataoka was retained by the TV station's live broadcaster for an interview. As for the others, Minister Ota led the way out and returned to the school bus.
By the time the Seido bus returned to their hotel, it was already 4 p.m., and it was 20 minutes before the official start of the race between Yokohama and Kiryu.
The Qingdao people first changed out of their jerseys and pants that were covered with sweat and mud from the game just now, and then changed into clean clothes, and then ran to the conference room to turn on the TV to watch the game that was about to start. Of course, there are also people who can't stand the smell on their bodies and run to take a bath first, such as Yagami Night.
In the meeting, the match between Yokohama and Kiryu has reached the sixth inning.
"After losing two points in the fourth game due to heat stroke in Chuanjiao, I don't know if the newly replaced Nishijima can support it?"
"Judging from these two or three games, we can only hope for their defense, otherwise I am afraid that they will lose points one after another in just one game."
"Yokohama may lose this game."
"yes, Yokohama's hits are only two-thirds of Kiryu's, and even the number of four-bad ball hitters on base is several more than Kiryu's, so their current situation is indeed very difficult."
The others were whispering, and Matsudaira Ryuichi, Chris, Miyukiya, and Kuroza Naoya took out the scorebook and recorded the data for the game together.
In the second half of the seventh game, Mohama's situation had deteriorated to the point of no return, and Nishijima was directly blown up by Kiryu's line, losing four points in a row; In the second half of the eighth inning, another sophomore pitcher who replaced Nishijima's pitching was directly blown up as soon as he came on the court, losing five points in a row to change the score of the two sides to 3:11, even if Yokohama's line broke out desperately in the first half of the ninth inning, he only chased back three points, and finally lost the game with Kiryu helplessly.
After Kiryu won the match, Seido's opponent in the second round was also decided.
"Hmm...... Kiryu's line is really strong, and once the pitcher can't stand it, he will lose points one after another. After watching their game, Yuki Tanaka not only sighed.
"The game against Kiryu in six days' time should not be taken lightly at any time, otherwise we could lose the game like Yokohama." Dong Qingguo also commented on the match.
After watching this Yokohama vs. Kiryu match, Matsudaira Ryuichi adjusted the video mode for the TV, got up and left the conference room with Chris, and then returned to the room with his backpack, took out a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Their second match with Kiryu was played six days later on the 12th, and it was also the last match of the day, which was plenty of time for them to rest and practice, and for the rest of the day, Inspector Kataoka did not make training arrangements for them, but instead gave them a holiday, which was probably a rare free time during the National High School Wild Ball Tournament.
After taking a shower, everyone in Qingdao changed into their daily casual clothes, and gathered together in twos and threes, ready to go out and visit this beautiful city.
